You're basing your laws and your whole outlook on natural life on mythology. It won't work. That's why you have all these problems in the world. Name them: India, Pakistan, Ireland. Name them-all these problems. They're all religious problems.

I have no regrets, none whatsoever.

I would not want to live with a tube in my neck and not be able to move a finger. I wouldn't - that to me is not life.

The American Medical Association says the humane way is to let people starve and thirst to death. If you did that to an animal, youd be put in jail immediately ... In the face of such insanity masquerading as authority, who wouldnt be strident?

I'm trying to knock the medical profession into accepting its responsibilities, and those responsibilities include assisting their patients with death.

When history looks back, it will prove what I'll die knowing.

Rotten travesty. Yeah. Send me to jail for contempt. Try that. Go ahead.
